The Ether is a Gateway distance driver rated 12/6/-1/2, pairing a high speed with glide and a moderate finish. It fits players who can bring a wide-rim driver up to pace and want a long flight that has some movement rather than a severe hook. With less release speed, the fade may arrive before much turn appears. Gateway promotes the Ether for distance and resistance to throwing torque. The PDGA approved the Ether on 26 October 2023.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
